He just returned from Atlantic City and heard of McMaster's loss for the first time. Although he knew the many virtues of Mrs. McMaster, and how well prepared she was to meet her God, still her death shocks him. She was so good and capable of doing so much good that he had taken it for granted that she had but entered on a mission that was to be long and useful. But her death is another reminder that God has need of no one and claims his own when and how He pleases. McMaster needs no assurance of O'Connor's heartfelt sympathy, for few knew the worth of Mrs. McMaster better than O'Connor. He asks God's love and pity to support and console McMaster in this trial and to enable him to bear it with christian fortitude. By asking us to suffer for Him, God thus rewards His servants below. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
